backup your data, lock your account and create a new account with no access to the files for them to do servicing

if you really worried, then transfer your files to a external HDD

do a clean reload of the OS, should be safer liao

if you really really really worried, go to disk utility under applications

find the one that overwrite your HD 37 times one

sure your files won't leak liao

but it'll take about a day to run

me sent my one to the AMK one, no problem lah

what is the cause of macbook to heat up immediately after power on ?

isit background there software running?

[applefreak 1]

actually macbook and macbook pro had heat problems coz of the heat sink location

the vent for heat dissipation is in between the keyboard and the screen

i know that the problem can be alleviated to a certain degree after changing the motherboard, but the heat problem will still be there

so the thing is if the heat problem wasn't there until recently

or after you updated your software

then better to send it in

did you buy applecare?

Do you feel the fan working? any hot air blowing out at the rear base hinge joining the LCD display?

finally i found the root cause at the monitor activity.

its the printer job take up alot of cpu space tat cus the fan noise so loud . gosh finally..

thanks!

off-topic:

applecare (for the laptop/desktop) is a must even though it seem ridiculously expensive (without discounts).

i have always utilize it to the max for my ibook and imac. hopefully, it won't be needed on my macbook pro (although i seriously doubt it). the only occasions where it didn't pay off were for the ipods.

better have it and not need it then need it and not have it
